Not so much alive...their drummer died by his own hands this xmas, so its only Jason left. This is the final Atomizer album...and the best one as well!

Why on Xmas? Weird....well, some say you gotta be really tough or really fool to take your own life...why not express anger against some others that really deserve to die? Or by hitting the drums harder...anyway, I am interested in this one...sounds like it has to be a a perfect good-bye album..._________________Unbound celestial assassins...

I've always liked Atomizer but I just hope that there isn't too much of the spoken word type vocals on this one.

As for Suds' death.... I hope I don't start any rumours by saying this but Howitzer from Gospel Of The Horns said (when they played here) that he thinks it may have been because of a woman. Again this is what he said so I'm not sure.

I really liked the Zine Jason used to publish (Heresy) when it was around, as they used to do really good interviews with industrial acts like BDN, Puissance, Ordo Equilibrio etc as well as Metal bands, which I know for a fact got a lot of Aus/NZ metalheads listening to some more exotic sounds. But Atomizer always left me pretty un-enthused for some reason....maybe the tounge-in-cheek humour didnt quite click.

There always seemed to be some degree of Ill-feeling towards them in the local scene for some reason. I think its been nearly 5 years since they've played in Melbourne.

Yeah, Jason's zine HERESEY. It was a killer mag when it was around. I really like the style of his questionaries, really in-depth, plus very critical reviews. I got issue 1&2 I think...Too bad he didn't continue it. He got too busy with his band more than his zine!!!
